You can do that with Twitter list, too. So, instead of getting the RSS feed for a single profile at a time, you can get a single feed for a group of profiles. You have to set up your own lists, though.

Well, I am somewhat in that boat, but there ARE some people/companies/industry groups I wish to follow. For those that use RSS (If you're a Systems Admin, you should be), here is a neat trick to follow a Twitter account in an RSS feed: Find a Twitter handle you wish to follow, and paste this into your feed reader: http://api.twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name= <http://api.twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=%5bTwitterAcc ountName> [TwitterAccountName] Some IT related companies post quality and useful information via Twitter, like outages and patches Dell announces their Outlet sales via Twitter, for example. My company is in the Digital Signage Industry, and many of my roles here overlap into that space, so I follow a lot of Twitter feeds related to what's new in the industry - and I learn TONS. Great way to stay informed and up to speed. I have a few friends I follow as well. My point: you don't need to be ON Twitter or have an account to utilize it. Food for thought.

Hmm..not for me. I follow exactly nobody on Twitter, and am on Facebook not even every day and don't even have a smartphone ($30/mo addtl' for the data plan). Does this put me behind the curve these days? I'm guessing the smartphone is where I am behind the curve the most? Damn, I didn't want to turn into one of those old, out of touch guys.
